[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 728856, member: 33046"] BEFORE...... I spent money on a different barrel, I'd work on what I have. I've shot Encore platform rifles since I could first get my hands on one. I can assure you, there's never been one that wouldn't shoot better than the shooter. I've set quite a few up for shooters and never had a person leave the range, that didn't have a smile on his face and stating that they would have never believed that a muzzleloader could be that accurate. The hinge pin is one of the larger contributing factors, which will tighten up groups. It is necessary to have that tight. Of course then there's the trigger pull, that certainly varies on each different rifle. Hammer springs, locking bolt springs and HD firing pin springs and trigger over travel screws, all contribute to tight groups. My Pro Hunter, a 209x50, will hold consistent 1/4" groups at 100yds, 3/4" groups at 150yds and 2" groups at 200yds. (Note: This is on my good days). This is with the factory T/C 28" barrel. However, I have done $35.00 worth of changes.
